Running hardware like that can generate a fearsome amount of heat, so Alienware says the angled design will allow you to push the chassis up against the wall while still allowing hot air to escape.
The Area 51 supports up to three full-width GPUs (both Nvidia and AMD options will be available) and up to five hard drives, and the system is designed to support an 850- or 1,500-watt power supply. You can also grip two of the handle-like points of the triangle to lift or move the system.īoth side panels are removable, offering access to the motherboard, video card slots and hard drive trays. This new version has a unique three-sided design, which Alienware calls "triad." The flat corners of the triad shape allow you to rock the massive chassis back easily and access ports or doors with only one hand.
To see how a similar configuration performs, see our benchmarks and review of the Origin PC Millennium, a similarly tricked-out desktop (in a much plainer case), which paired three Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 cards with a Haswell-E processor.īefore its revival, the last time we saw the Area 51 line from Alienware was around 2010, and at the time it was an impressive, if dated, black rectangle, with red accent lights and creature-like fins protruding from the top.
